Nabi Zamani created TILES-570:
---------------------------------
Summary: Init via listeners and configuring DEFINITIONS_CONFIG via
context-param does not work as documented
Key: TILES-570
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TILES-570
Project: Tiles
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tiles-core, tiles-servlet
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Reporter: Nabi Zamani
Please see http://tiles.apache.org/tutorial/configuration.html for some docs
and go to the section "Load the Tiles listener. Specify it in your web.xml
file".
Issue 1:
The following configuration is invalid because
org.apache.tiles.web.startup.TilesListener does not exist anymore:
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.tiles.web.startup.TilesListener</listener-class>
</listener>
Issue 2:
Because of Issue 1 I have chosen to use the
org.apache.tiles.web.startup.simple.SimpleTilesListener for starting the Tiles
engine (see http://tiles.apache.org/framework/config-reference.html):
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.tiles.web.startup.simple.SimpleTilesListener</listener-class>
</listener>
According to the docs this should be possible:
<context-param>
<param-name>
org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG
</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/tiles.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
But org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG does not exist
(it was mentioned to be deprecated in older versions of Tiles!).
Issue 3:
Because of issue 2 I used
org.apache.tiles.definition.DefinitionsFactory.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG:
<context-param>
<param-name>
org.apache.tiles.definition.DefinitionsFactory.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG
</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/tiles.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
But that does also not allow to load the custom tiles.xml file.
Issue 4:
I checked sources and found this in
org.apache.tiles.factory.BasicTilesContainerFactory (tiles-core-3.0.1.jar):
/**
* Returns a list containing the resources to be parsed. By default, it
returns a
* list containing the resource at "/WEB-INF/tiles.xml".
* @param applicationContext The Tiles application context.
* @return The resources.
* @since 2.1.1
*/
protected List<ApplicationResource> getSources(ApplicationContext
applicationContext) {
List<ApplicationResource> retValue = new
ArrayList<ApplicationResource>(1);
retValue.add(applicationContext.getResource("/WEB-INF/tiles.xml"));
return retValue;
}
As you can see "/WEB-INF/tiles.xml" is hard coded. That's why using the
context-param has no influence at all. The only valid location is
"/WEB-INF/tiles.xml" and that's it.
Would be great if this would be fixed in one of the next releases.
